Another repo rate hike
Namibia’s central bank this morning announced its raising of the country’s prime lending rate by 25 basis points, to 7%. Bank of Namibia (Bon) Governor Iipumbu Shiimi said the decision was necessary to prevent capital outflows which could put pressure on the country’s international reserves.
“With this increase in the Repo rate, it is expected that deposit-taking institutions will also raise deposit rates by the same margin, thereby encouraging savings,” Shiimi said. Read more about Another repo rate hike

The police in the Ohangwena Region are implementing stricter measures to curb illegal border crossings, which is a common occurrence and can be used for cross-border criminal activities.

I remember being in a taxi one day and two young girls in the same taxi were having a really… interesting conversation. Then one of them said, “Etse have you seen the way she even walks like she owns the universe or something”” The other one, in an annoyed tone replied, “Choma why are you even going so far. Just the way her nose is so big. I’m scared one day she will finish the oxygen in this world and we will all just die. Read more about Slay 'em with kindness
